Transformers / Ghostbusters #1

After years of civil war, the Autobots fled Cyberton, leaving their home planet in the evil clutches of Megatron and his Decepticons. Years later and millions of miles away, the Autobots pick up a Cybertronian distress signal from a mysterious planet called Earth. The ghostly signal shouldn’t exist, and it’ll bring Optimus Prime and his team – including brand-new Autobot Ectotron – face-to-face with… the Ghostbusters!

Crossing the streams after 35 years!

Written and illustrated by the long-time fan-favourite Ghostbusters creative team of Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, and Luis Antonio Delgado!

Crow / Hack/Slash #1

The crow flies. A soul is brought back. But something is wrong.

Angeles Cero won’t stop killing on her quest for revenge, and the bodies are piling up.
Now, slasher hunter Cassie Hack and her monstrous partner Vlad are on the trail of the Crow Killer, assuming her to be one of the masked murderers they’ve hunted for years.

But they aren’t the only force trying to make the universe right again.

Marilyn Manor #1

Where were you in ’81? When the White House goes dark for 17 days in August, the president’s spoiled daughter and her best friend Abe – who claims to be possessed by the spirit of Abe Lincoln – throw a rager at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, unearthing long dead historical figures and government secrets that are better off buried. Sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll séances, and secret passageways lead to time-bending mystical romps where past and present collide. But at what cost to Marilyn Kelleher, the world at large, and music television?

Uniting the red-hot Eisner-nominated talents of writer Magdalene Visaggio (Eternity Girl, Kim and Kim) and artist Marley Zarcone (Shade the Changing Girl, Effigy) for the first time, Marilyn Manor explores identity, classism, appropriation, and friendship. It’s a rollicking, neon party gone out of bounds when we need it most – set just in time for the greatest pop cultural marriage to date: MTV.
